Congratulations, Chad!
Stunning Review of English Studies volumes. It would be a dream to find them someday!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I had been looking for most of these for many years. Patience finally paid off. The facsimile jacket was fun to measure and print out just right.
Philomythos from a seller in the UK through a friend and then many weeks of back and forth negotiations.

Excellent editions Mr. Underhill! Several items there that I am still hunting for.
I have recently acquired the HarperCollins print on demand facsimiles of English and Medieval Studies and The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise(pictured on the left of their original counterparts) interestingly, King Heidrek is much less of a facsimile than E&MS, as it is missing all of the Nelson’s Icelandic Texts information.
I don't know why I didn't buy these when they were in print...now that they are out of print they were quite difficult to find.

I bought these two from HC when they first came out (so both part of the first small batch). Is your HC E&MS jacket made from two smaller sheets glued together and made from very thin paper with a lamination added? The join is really only noticeable from the back of the jacket

The jacket is one long sheet, so must not have been the same batch as yours.

Yeah, I suspect they were still figuring out the process right back at the start. The join is right on the upper board join to the spine and isn't noticeable at all from the outside unless you look closely (partly because the paper is so thin). I actually didn't notice it when I originally purchased it - it was a few years later!
